Joshua Bardwell and Race Day Quads have come together to make the industry’s next favorite flight controller. With the latest features, a layout which will make your build clean and easy and an extremely competitive price, the Bardwell F4 AIO Flight Controller is perfect for your quad!

Changes in version 1.3 include:

16 MB dataflash chip for Blackbox logging instead of SD card reader.
RX4 pad at corner for ESC telemetry
TX6 pad added so there is one additional UART for general-purpose use
5v pad near LEDstrip pad changed to vBat so there is a convenient vBat pad on top of the board. Use Buzzer+ for 5v if need be or there is a 5v pad on the bottom of the board.

There is a whole lot of crap out there when it comes to brushless micros in the whoop form factor.

We've been really particular about our decision making process in stocking brushless whoops.

The market has recently been inundated by cheap and nasty (but in reality - quite pricey), well, crap.

Traditionally brushless whoops - particularly the 'affordable' ones, had sported brushless motors that have been unreliable and underpowered, sitting on flimsy, fragile frames and driven by flight controllers just too inaccurate to enjoy that locked in feeling you need to hit those tight gaps that make whooping fun!

That is, until now!

We are happy to offer our customers the new and improved upgraded Beta65 pro brushless whoop.

Sporting 19,000kv (Yes! 19,000kv) brushless motors, with innovative new e-clip design to prevent bell fly-offs, mounted on the BEST and most durable brushless whoop frame available - the new and improved BetaFPV 65 pro frame and driven by the brand new BetaFPV F4 flight controller with integrated FrSky SPI long range receiver with OSD, telemetry AND an open UART for Smart Audio. The rock solid BetaFPV Z01 mullet AIO camera provides rock solid, low latency FPV.

All this packed in to the traditional 65mm tiny whoop ducted form factor.

SPARES COMPATIBILITY

Props 31mm - 1mm shaft diameter (shaft diameter is important - brushed props have a 0.8mm diameter and will need to be drilled out to 1mm to be compatible (coming very soon)

Currently the built in Frsky receiver is compatible with Taranis, Taranis Plus, X9E, Horus X12S, XJT Modules with International Firmware (in D8 mode). Pay attention, this is a SPI connection receiver. In Betaflight Configuration, it should be setted as FRSKY_D receiver in SPI RX mode.

Introducing a new era for Whoop micro drones. This 2S Whoop drone has the power to fly real acro, like a larger quad, but is still small enough, safe enough, and quiet enough to fly anywhere.

A team of well respected micro modders have teamed up with BetaFPV to produce this whoop, being involved and consulted on every single step including frame design from scratch, FC and ESC stack design, motor design and prop combinations.

A lot of time and effort by not only those running BetaFPV, but purist hobbyists, has gone in to the research and development of this quad.

A QUICK LOOK

High performing STM32F405 processor FC boards and tuned Betaflight Ominibus 3.5.0 firmware, the Beta65X is ready to bind and fly out of the box without requiring tedious tuning.
Durable and light enough frame is custom produced for the Beta65X. A total assembled weight of 26g gives pilots a good balance of weight and nice punch on 2S voltage.
Fully assembled — no soldering or tinkering necessary. The custom produced 17500kv 0802 motors are the lightest ever produced and replacing them is easy with simple, light-weight, plug and play connectors.
2 x 1S batteries connected in series is configured by default, making this new offering a more affordable upgrade.
THE IMPORTANT STUFF

The whoop comes with a custom split Z02 smart audio AIO cam/vtx by default with a custom designed mount for a 35 degree viewing angle for faster flying.

Output power: 0mW, 25mW and 200mW (switchable)
Smart Audio function is included for radio control out of the box
Antenna: Dipole
Frequency: 5.8GHz 6 bands 48 channels, with Raceband: 5362~5945MHz
TV System: NTSC
Field of view: 100-120 degrees with 1/4 lens
PROPS OUT
The Beta65X drone also comes with "props out" by default. Why we need "props out" direction?

Default Betaflight props direction, quadcopter dips and "washes out" in hard corners. With reversed props or "props out", no more dipping even in hardest cornering.

POWER CABLE
There is only one choices for the Beta65X - PH 2.0. The two 260mAh Lipo HV 1S batteries can be inserted into the slot in design, as seen below.

CUSTOMED Z02
The AIO camera VTX on the Beta75X is a customed version of Z02. The VTX board and camera board are split and 35 degree camera mount for more fast flying. At the same time, it have all the other function of the Z02 camera, like output power switchable between 0mW, 25mW and 200mW. Smart audio is available for VTX remote control in default.

Betaflight F4 is the follow-up design to the very popular BetaflightF3. Following the same path as Betaflight F3 we have kept a very similar footprint in terms of design with a few added modifications. The F405 has replaced the F303 to allow for lower CPU loads.

We have eliminated the 5v/3.3v jumper and added two separate connection points, one for SBUS and one for spektrum users. The jumper still remains for the battery voltage/5v connection for connecting your camera. While wiring the board it is recommended to get power for your VTX either from a different 5v source on the board or if using a higher voltage VTX power it from the battery input coming into the PDB. Running ground loop at AGND with GND wires from camera and VTX is still recommended to give the cleanest video signal.

Another small design change to this board was changing the BEC, this change takes the recommended 5v 2A current limit and drops it down to 5V 1.5A, its a small change but one that we opted for in order to use a more reliable BEC.

BetaflightF4 now comes with telemtry pads for BLHeli32 ESCs these pads are located between the signal and gnd pads for the ESC connections.

This is the pin connected version. Although realistically, you can easily just cut/de-solder the pins and replace with wires if you wanted. You'll be right. It comes with a white TPU printed mount for the camera and vtx, works nicely.

Z02 AIO camera VTX is the newest video transmitter by BETAFPV. It has 2 great improvement since. First, switchable power output between 0mW, 25mW and 200mW. Second, Smart Audio is included and pilots could control the VTX via your radio transmitter.

FEATURE
Switchable power includes 0mW, 25mW and 200mW.
Smart Audio function is included in this AIO Z02 camera. The flight controller can communicate with the video transmitter using the audio line in. It allows the flight controller to know what frequency the vtx is using, and to change it.
Fixed 20° tilt camera mount. At this angle the pilot can still see everything ahead in full-blown fast forward flight.
Dipole whip high sensitivity antenna

Searching for a decent, high-quality li-po battery that won't break the wallet isn't easy in Australia.

Enter the BigdaddyFPV range of lithium polymer batteries.

Featuring G10 protective plates on top and bottom, decent discharge rates and a high build quality, the BigdaddyFPV packs are perfect for those wanting to fly & train every day without abusing your top end race packs.

NOTE: Please do not choose expedited shipping unless you live in greater Sydney as batteries cannot be shipped by Air.

Batteries should NEVER be left unattended while charging.
Be absolutely sure that the Lithium Polymer charger settings are correct for the battery pack being charged – both voltage and current settings.
Lithium Polymer must be CHARGED and STORED in a fire-safe container like a Lipo Sack.
Do not charge batteries near flammable items or liquids.
Keep a dry fire extinguisher nearby or a large bucket of dry sand, which is a cheap and effective extinguisher.
Never charge inside an automobile even when parked.
KEEP BATTERIES AWAY from children and pets at ALL times.
Never discharge below 3.5V per cell as it may cause permanent damage and void warranty
Battery may explode if damaged or disposed of in fire
Never leave batteries inside a car on a hot day or any other place where temperature may exceed 140F / 60C.
Although environmentally friendly, lithium polymer cells must be FULLY discharged before disposal. Use a resistor setup (light bulbs, for example) to accomplish this, to avoid the possibility of a short-induced fire after disposal.
Immediately discharge damaged batteries at 1/2 C rate and dispose
Do not put the loose cells in a pocket, bag, or drawer where they could short-circuit against other items, or the battery tabs could be pressed against each other.
Take care that the cells are not punctured, especially by metallic objects like hobby knives.
If the electrolyte in the cells should get on your skin, thoroughly wash with soap and water. If in the eyes, rinse thoroughly with cool water. Immediately seek medical attention for this, or for burns.

The BOLT WORX motors come with the same high performance stable as the Kraken WORX. Like all our WORX gear, it is designed from the ground up with our WORX race team to push boundaries and win races. WORX gear blends top performance, extreme light weight yet remain relatively durable for both training and race day.

These motors are designed to deliver a noticeable improvement in handling whilst still maintaining equivalent thrust with the leading power motors.

The motor uses thick N52H magnets and 0.15mm stator lamination that delivers outstanding power and performance. Wound with thick 0.5mm single strand copper, these are not cheap motors, despite the price. The motors uses higher quality ABEC 5 bearings from EZO. These bearings are unique to our WORX brushless motors delivering a more robust and lower profile motor for improved balance when placing the battery below the quad.

This combined with a light weight 25.8 grams (3cm wires) gives this motor an outstanding race pedigree. and most importantly, exceptional handling.

The motor uses a 19mm mount pattern.

Whats the big deal with the weight?

Actually, weight on the end of the arms is more important than any other location on the quad. Our race pilots report noticeable improvements in handling. Any weight here is just magnified by the arm length squared, just google 'moment of inertia'.

How durable are these motors?

Durable enough for both training and race day. We make extensive use of advanced FEA simulation tools to design our motors to maximize strength and yet still reduce weight. That said, nothing in the world is for free.....ie. not to be used for proximity flying.

2 Mount Holes?

Our WORX frames have only two mount holes on the arms.

There are no big fan blades on the cap to keep the motor cool?

Light weight 'fan blades' are hidden under the bell cap together with large exit area at the base make these motors extremely well ventilated.

Can I Run 6S

No, the stator will saturate and you are at risk of blowing the magnets. Its warranted only for 4S although 5S is is just fine, at your risk though.

What is the Thrust

Static thrust is around 1250-1275 grams with DAL 5045 v2s. Note that you can get slightly higher thrust with motors like the ZMX Fusion 2206, however, this comes at the expense of several grams of weight (thicker magnets and also requiring a thicker can). Our extensive race track testing shows that that the small incremental thrust delivers slower times due to poor handling characteristics.

Furthermore, the lighter WORX bell assists the motor accelerate to top speed even quicker.

The Kraken 3 is a ultra light weight and tough quad which leverages on the race wining design features of its big brother. The Kraken frames were created in collaboration with our top team pilots with the goal of producing an ultra competitive race winning performance.

The Kraken 4 is an ultra light weight and tough quad which leverages on the race wining design features of its big brother, 5R. The Kraken frames were created in collaboration with our top team pilots with the goal of producing an ultra competitive race winning performance.

Note: This is the international version that ships with 2 pods but no LDO reg.

The K5W is an extreme light weight quad featuring aerodynamic performance. Despite weighing only 50 grams, the frame will survive a surprising number of tumbles. This is frame used by many of the worlds top pilots including rekrek, ghost, mad air, Julien FPV, waffle, jeddy, banni and many more!

The Kraken 5 is an ultra light weight and tough quad which is designed and made to win races. The Kraken frames were created in collaboration with our top team pilots with the goal of producing an ultra competitive race winning performance.

The frame is a semi stetch sitting half way between a symmetrical and full stretch. Also, the front and rear arms do not meet in the centre. Why you ask? You get most of the stretch flight benefits but none of the strength disadvantages. Essentially the arms are the same length as a regular symmetrical frame arm

The BRIX Race is the perfect companion for your BRIX Trainer (available here). The BRIX Race is faster, lighter, more streamlined and cooler than the trainer version. Practice on the BRIX Trainer, and pull out the BRIX Race on race day.

The BRIX Race is built for 5" props and weighs less than 85 grams including fasteners. The arms are made out of the highest grade full twill 4mm carbon fibre and feature a near unbreakable polyurethane pod resulting in an incredibly tough 5 inch X frame.

Each frame includes a red 55 degree TPU pod, 2x battery straps, a fastener kit, bottom plate, top plate and a custom PDB designed with the FMR Kakute in mind.

The pod is designed for HS1177 form factor cameras and the AU799T VTX or similar.
